~WATTYS SHORTLIST 2025~ Hunter Dannings was a young CEO who had given up on love. But when he met River Conyers, a single dad and bar owner, his life began to change. Being around River gave him hope, and being around his daughter, Melodie, let Hunter imagine creating the family he's always wanted. But River doesn't let people in easily. And falling for him puts Hunter at risk for more heartbreak than he's ever known. ----- "Thanks for bringing me home." "It's no problem," Hunter shrugged, crossing his arms against the bitter Toronto cold. "You did the same for me." "Yeah," River started in, but paused, fingers tightening around the doorknob. "Maybe I should return the favor." In two large steps, River stepped in front of Hunter. His breath left his lips in small clouds as he stared determinedly at Hunter's mouth. Hunter's body was confused. After battling the oncoming winter chill for so long, it was strange to suddenly have River in front of him, warming his skin from proximity alone. Fingertips tinged pink by the cold reached up, grabbing Hunter's jacket and using the fabric to pull the taller man down. "You were gone for so long and never reached out," River croaked, fists tightening around the fabric of Hunter's coat. "Never sent me a text or gave me a call." "I'm sorry." "Are you?" River's whispered words warmed Hunter's lips, teasing him with the promise of more. "Then prove it." __________________________________ Highest Rankings: #1 mxm/malexmale/manxman #1 gayness/unlimitedpride #1 parent/singleparent #1 nosmut #3 gay #3 lgbtlove/lgbtlovestory #4 gaylove #5 fallinginlove #7 bxblove #16 wattpride #35 lgbt #64 bxb #96 boyxboy #99 single-parent #136 lgbtq #200 BL Date Started: 02/02/2024 Date Completed: 10/4/2024

Their Boy Beloved is the first book in the Taming His Blaze series. NOLAN • POV Trouble. That was my first impression of Reuben Brett. Absolute trouble. Trouble I was best to stay away from before he burned me with his fire. But I was attracted to the beauty of the flames, completely undone by its blinding brightness. By its feisty spark and its tempting heat. What I didn't expect was to also fall for the man who already owned Reuben Brett. Maseo Pascal was the opposite of trouble. He was complicated, a gentle brute, a lost romantic searching for guidance. Maseo had been actively trying to contain Reuben's wild flames when I'd met them both. Luckily for me, it was a two man job and he let me intrude, he let me control the fire with him. I got burned a few times, we all did. But now we're here and this is the story of how we made it.

This unit hasn't accepted omegas in years, and the people standing in his way are not shy to take advantage of his determination. What choice does he have? He's safe from his abusive family if he stays in the army, but the infantry is infested with alphas who see him as nothing but a toy, so he must grow stronger to protect himself. The path forward brings him more abuse by alphas who hate to see a strong, skilled omega in the army, but it's too late to turn back now after everything he's already endured to get there. His wish finally comes true, and is allowed to join the unit with a promise his life will be hell, and the people he should be afraid of are not the terrorists... No... It's his allies he can't trust. Pushed to his breaking point, Riley joins Tactical Team 07, a team of ten alphas, fearing he's made the biggest mistake of his life.

And perhaps he has found his new family, his brothers, and with them, he might even learn he no longer wants to fight just to protect himself, but to protect his country and the freedom of all omegas.

Joni, a young homeless omega, has to steal in order to survive, but one heist gone wrong turns his friends against him, and only the mafia - and a certain kind alpha - can keep him safe. ***** An omega thief gets thrown out of his clan of criminals after he refuses to save his leader from a debt he can't pay. Joined by his best friend, these two homeless omegas are trying to stay safe in a dangerous city where the army fights ruthless criminals who hate omegas, but the best way to survive is to find any decent alphas to take care of them, even if they're not true mates. And the best place to find good alphas is the local mafia. But stepping into the mafia life comes with its own dangers, and their former clan certainly hates seeing them climbing up the lawless social ladder when they were supposed to fail as outcasts, so their hardships are far from over. At least there's a young alpha, not the prince charming our little thief thought he'd find, but he's kind of cute, and has kind eyes, so he decides to give him a chance. Maybe it doesn't always have to be about love at first sight. Maybe love can bloom where you least expect it - if you give it an opportunity to grow.
